Abstract: A fitting for use in a manifold or other tubular assembly includes a core and at least one tubular coupling sleeve slidably and sealingly fitted over a distal end of the core to accommodate predetermined tolerances in the relative positions of fluid ports connected with the tubular assembly. Features are provided to limit the range of motion to the predetermined tolerances and to prevent disassembly of the coupling sleeve from the core of the fitting.

Abstract: A damper for a fluid line, in particular a fuel line for an internal combustion engine, includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid. A membrane is located in the housing and intended to be in contact with fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet. A damping chamber is defined by the housing and the membrane. A fluid chamber is separated from the damping chamber by the membrane, in fluidic communication with the inlet and the outlet. A peripheral edge of the membrane includes an enlarged and/or thickened portion that is inserted into a recess of the housing, for constraining the membrane to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a snap-on coupling between a fluid pipe and a rigid tubular end fitting, this coupling having a sleeve mounted on a pipe to be coupled to an end fitting that has a peripheral connecting projection, a locking member engaging with this projection to retain the end fitting in the sleeve, and a visual indicator which engages with the projection behind the locking member and occupying an extended position and a depressed position in the sleeve, the member and the indicator each having a head and two elastically deformable side legs, each leg of the indicator having a retention arm engaging with a lower side tooth and with a bottom stop, both formed on the corresponding side of the sleeve, when the indicator occupies the depressed and extended positions, respectively.
